Just had the chilli (can&#39;t remember the name, the one with lime) out of my slow cooker and it was great. I found this recipe and went down to the bulk foods shop to get Chickpea flour (the Indian sort is also called <b>Chana flour</b>). If anyone is interested, the flour may be mixed with equal amounts of water and used in recipes as a egg replacer (<i>handy if you have had your servings of egg for the day!</i>). <br /><br />Looking forward to trying this recipe out!Cherienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-57951146861416409942010-04-25T15:56:32.713-06:002010-04-25T15:56:32.713-06:00yum!

I use finely chopped red onion, garlic, rosemary, sage, and oregano + lots of cracked black pepper in mine. I&#39;m going to give an Indian accent to my next attempt -- cumin, fennel, chili powder. sounds good, right?norahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05966060581670277027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-65106503775427228222009-08-04T19:26:05.512-06:002009-08-04T19:26:05.512-06:00EinsteinsSmellySock, that&#39;s true, but several ...EinsteinsSmellySock, that&#39;s true, but several people have told me that the chickpea flour used in Italy is different than the Indian version.

I can't publish other types of links like that, (and I don't really have time to go check recipes on other blogs either, because I can barely keep up with this one!) Since I have no way to contact this person, I'm just leaving a note here to say that anything made with chickpea flour should be okay, but I'm afraid I don't know about moong dal. You might try googling it to see if you can find what the glycemic index is, and if it's relatively low it's probably okay.Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-25797193604486162422009-01-19T15:57:00.000-07:002009-01-19T15:57:00.000-07:00Susan, glad you liked it!Susan, glad you liked it!Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-85113092748096784222009-01-19T15:02:00.000-07:002009-01-19T15:02:00.000-07:00I love the farinate recipe!

I have already made several of your recipes, each one comes out delish!!<BR/>The farinata has saved me I think as I am a HUGE bread fan and this is a wonderful replacement during the more restrictive Phase 1. I made it the first time in a baking pan and it was good, but this time I did it in a cast iron skillet like you suggested and it cooked wonderfully even, easy to remove..YUM! I loved it as you described with the rosemary, but i am also now experimenting with a sprinkle of parm cheese, garlic - also YUM!<BR/>Thank you again for such a great non-bread alternative!!Tanyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-39751724751643634502008-11-21T06:33:00.000-07:002008-11-21T06:33:00.000-07:00Anonymous, I would also love to know if this is su...Anonymous, I would also love to know if this is suitable for diabetics but I have no idea.Kalynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02499065771517548587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-47180052833538088552008-11-21T02:19:00.000-07:002008-11-21T02:19:00.000-07:00I was wondering if anybody knows whether this is s...I was wondering if anybody knows whether this is suitable for diabetics. I checked out the carb count for besan (chickpea flour) and there are definitely fewer in chickpea flour than regular flour, making this a good South Beach alternative, but the carb count seemed a little high for diabetics. Have any diabetics out there tried the farinata? How did your blood sugar react? Thank you all in advance. I would love to find this out before Thanksgiving because I think it'd be great with my low-carb artichoke dip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-87109881225711707422008-11-19T19:45:00.000-07:002008-11-19T19:45:00.000-07:00Kalyn, this sounds really wonderful and it is the ...Kalyn, this sounds really wonderful and it is the crunchy snack I miss most on the SB diet!Thanks for a great recipe!!Deborah Dowdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00572471201444889836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-89836345367105046252008-11-19T14:48:00.000-07:002008-11-19T14:48:00.000-07:00If you go to an Indian store, ask for "gram flour"...If you go to an Indian store, ask for "gram flour" or "besan". <BR/><BR/>This sounds really interesting, Kalyn. Before this, I've only seen Indian things made with chickpea flour. (I've never been wild about things made with besan, which is strange; I adore chickpeas!) I do like papadams that are flavoured with pepper.<BR/><BR/>Do you think maybe the yellow colour of the farinata you've seen elsewhere may be yellower because of different olive oil too?<BR/><BR/>-Elizabethejmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08818302133113874649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12411922.post-59029866635900223292008-11-19T13:55:00.000-07:002008-11-19T13:55:00.000-07:00Sue, I ate them pretty fast, but I think I did hav...Sue, I ate them pretty fast, but I think I did have some for three days and they were still okay, but definitely not as crisp.
